I wish you luck in your search but IMO you'll need to look nationwide for such a specific spec. Especially on a 35i which are much harder to find well optioned than a 50i.

I did search the BMW CPO page, 500 mile search from a Syracuse zip code (not sure where in update NY you are), and only 4 2018 model year 35i's popped up in blue or gray. And only 2 of those had less than 10K miles. And none of the 4 were close to your desired spec.

Stretching to nationwide, there were only 10 2018 35i's in blue or gray with less than 10K miles. Obviously there's other sites but the BMW CPO page has great filters to quickly narrow down results without using a VIN decoder.

Here's one that is somewhat close. It's missing 19's (has 20's), rear heated seats, rear manual sunshades, & space saver tire, but as a bonus above your desired spec has M Sport, B&O sound, dynamic handling package, rear seat entertainment, etc. - https://cpo.bmwusa.com/used/2018-BMW...5833?zip=13027

Thank you very much for your research! I've written the dealership. I too used BMW NA search but did not go as far as Georgia so didn't see that one. Well, I figured that since I too didn't find anything close, I would post on the forum and maybe someone who was thinking about selling theirs, would reply. While not everything on my list is necessary, you don't get what you don't ask for

Once again, thank you!

Marty

PS: I started out looking for G05 and have been on that forum for a while now but just cannot see myself dealing with the plethora of tech issues that car has so thought I'd go in reverse and look for the last of the F15's.

Wow,, that is indeed very well equipped,,I don't believe I have seen one around as well equipped ,, kind of used X5M territory though, OP I am sure you already know that, be sure to ask them what they charge for dealer / doc fee,, heard some BMW dealerships in ATL charge up to 799 as Dealer/Doc fee.

Anyone familiar with United BMW of Alpharetta, GA? I received a reply from them and in the body of the email were ads for a couple of G05's that looked like this, see pic.. ..

Ok, so the 2020 X5 is bone bare stock, which accounts for their pricing. However, the 2019 is not with an MSRP about $10K higher. I didn't price out the X6. Drilling into all three of these cars reveals their details in which they are all listed as Used...

Just wondering if they are trustworthy, anyone know?

FWIW,,, I've never bought from them but did speak with them a couple of times before when we were looking for our M550,,, I actually called them about this particular X5 since I am also looking for one with the dynamic handling package.

So this particular one was listed on the certified BMW website however in reality it is not certified, apparently this was some kind of a training vehicle and those are not eligible for certification. I've never heard of "training vehicles" . what they told me, is that these are not press cars. I am not sure what to think about it!!

I believe this particular X5 was used in Spartanburg at their Performance Center. If you buy a new BMW you can elect to have a Performance Center Delivery (PCD) and they put you in several cars but always in one like the one you bought and give you driving instructions.

I just found out that this one does not have the kick to open tailgate which is what I want.

You might be correct but from my experience doing PCD for our M3,, they have a fleet of Performance School cars and when I spoke with United they specifically told me this was not a Performance school car.

Well then maybe the factory uses them for training purposes. I just found it strange that since this was a BMW owned car, the warranty ends Dec 2021 meaning it started a couple of years ago even though there wasn't a customer who purchased it.

To kind of state the obvious, the more specific your requirements the smaller the pool. Could be setting yourself up for frustrating journey. We passed on some pretty good deals b/c having the DA + was non negotiable for my wife.

Don't blame you on the blue, that was our first color but had to be flexible. Patience and lead time needed. GL with search.
